Transfer hold-up: why BVB are struggling right now | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund still want to make changes to the squad in several positions this summer. BVB are actively looking for ways to do that, and Ole Book has several ideas in mind. 

However, there is quite a bit to consider. After the signings made so far, the Black and Yellows cannot simply spend freely. They need to generate income.

And this is exactly what Dortmund need to think about. Because at the moment, there apparently is not a big market for the players who are allowed to leave the club.

BVB facing transfer bottleneck

The hottest candidate for a departure that would bring money into the club’s coffers remains Karim Adeyemi. The winger is still under contract with Dortmund until 2027, and a decision is expected this summer on whether the deal will be extended or the player will leave the club. At the moment, it seems rather unlikely that both parties will go into the final year of the contract and allow a free transfer to become possible.

But since the market has not really heated up yet and not many dominoes have fallen, BVB have to wait. The exact same applies to Serhou Guirassy. He apparently wants to leave BVB, but there are no concrete offers on the table.

At least major investments are not possible under the current circumstances. Especially since Dortmund have already been active as well, including with Kaua Prates. The Black and Yellows now have to make sure they place these players on the market as effectively as possible.

For Book, the current situation is also a little frustrating, because he does have quite a few ideas and players he is looking at, but when he is in contact with the agents, all he can do at the moment is ask for patience. So the BVB official has to keep some potential deals “warm” until things can really get going.
